Update...

So I know it's been a week since our last update, but there's been good reason for that - finally, finally, finally, both our masts are back up and ready to go (other than a quick tune).

After spending three days rewiring the mizzen (aft) mast, we motored around to the concrete dock to start the mast raising process.

First we had to setup the boat nice & tight so it didn't move while we were placing the mast....

Then the mast was craned over....

Before being raised to the vertical using another crane....

Then swung over the boat and attached in the socket.

I then went up the mast....

To disconnect the crane strop...

Before we motored away from the dock....

And headed back to our pontoon in the marina.

 

What else. I finally finished the new aft deck seating and refitted the winches, which leaves only a rigging tune to do and a gas locker to build. Nothing to it. Looks like we're still on for leaving early in the New Year; weather permitting of course...
